Game characters that deserved to die (Feature)

Oct 23, 2009

Death and video games go together like a big heart attack-baiting burger and an extra five slices of cheddar. But just because they’re the best of mates, it doesn’t mean certain characters should go looking for the Grim Reaper through their own reckless actions. Sadly, that’s exactly want the following group of death-wishers all do. And whether it’s through their own stupidity, being huge wimps or just dying in embarrassing fashion, these guys ...

Halo 3: ODST - Multiplayer Skulls Guide (Feature)

Oct 2, 2009

You thought you were done with these? Not even close.

With the release of Halo 3: ODST, the hunt for hidden skulls is on again. Tucked away on six of the included multiplayer maps are six extra noggins – collectibles that many gamers don’t even realize exist. Three are ODST originals, three are holdovers from the Mythic Map Pack and all are deviously concealed in some of the most obscure, hard-to-reach locations ...

Halo 3: ODST - Heretic Skull (Video)

Oct 2, 2009

Master Chief takes a backseat as a new UNSC hero is drafted in for this standalone expansion that explores the fate of Earth before the events of Halo 3. More missions. More multiplayer. And, according to Microsoft, more stealth.

10 game ads that are horribly up their own ass (Feature)

Oct 1, 2009

Most game ads are usually a bit rubbish. But we can forgive them, because whether pushing Z listers ‘enjoying’ entertaining interactive products or offending our ears with a cheesy, booming voiceover, most of them are just charmingly clueless. The following ads are guilty of a much worse crime, though. They all utterly adore themselves. Self-indulgent, self-loving bullshit, below you’ll find cynical commercials that have ...

The Top 7... things ODST does better than Halo 3 (Feature)

Sep 28, 2009

ODST is more than an expansion. ODST is an experimentation. Sure, this year’s Halo game could be seen as something of a placeholder, a small side adventure to keep fans occupied until next year’s Reach. The graphics are nearly the same as those in Halo 3. So are the enemies, weapons and vehicles. The gameplay feels as familiar as ever. Not in every way, though... ...

Halo 3: ODST in 90 seconds (Feature)

Sep 24, 2009

Halo 3: ODST drops you into the boots of several human protagonists through the course of its noir-ish Earth-bound mystery, yet still manages to tell a pretty coherent story (compared to previous Halo games, at least.) But for those of you who can’t be bothered to beat the game for yourselves, we’ve got your fix. Here are the crucial 90 seconds of video that explain it all. Prepare to drop! ...

Halo 3: ODST - Audio Log guide (Feature)

Sep 22, 2009

You may have finished the fight. Again. But unless you’ve located every hidden audio log, you’ve only seen a fraction of Halo 3: ODST’s story.

Bookmark this page and check back here often. Because we’ll be updating this guide with maps, screenshots, videos, and detailed walkthroughs to help fill your VISR with every audio visual log so you can find out what really happened in New Mombasa ...

Halo 3: ODST (Review)

Sep 19, 2009

ODST is all about mindset.

Are you hoping for more Halo 3? Are you looking forward to another adventure in that game’s grandly exaggerated yet comfortingly familiar universe? Are you excited to wield the same crazy weapons and vehicles in brand new battles, to encounter the same smart enemies in unexpected new situations and to witness the same epic war from an entirely new perspective? ...

Halo 3: ODST interview (Feature)

Sep 19, 2009

Master Chief’s been put on furlough, but Halo 3: ODST soldiers on without him. Bungie’s Brian Jarrard took some time out to tell us about how ODST tweaks the Halo formula. Topics include the smoky jazz-drenched night time city, the frantic new Firefight mode and his personal favorite “Oh, shit!” moments. ...

The best of HaloRadar (Feature)

Sep 18, 2009

Halo is more than a franchise. Halo is a cultural phenomenon. If you need proof, look no further than this page. When Halo 3 launched two years ago, we launched an epic adventure of our own: nearly 50 straight weeks of HaloRadar coverage. ...

Aug 28, 2009

The end of summer means the beginning of the game season, and today is the last Friday before the game industry’s big holiday push. Publishers jam the fall with games to challenge the true worth of your credit card – a double dog dare in the uncertain economy of 2009. ...

The Top 7... trendy game-design crutches (Feature)

Aug 24, 2009

We've all seen dozens of lists over the years that recount all the things old-school game designers loved to include in their games for bizarre and unknown reasons, like exploding barrels and wolves that carry gold and chainmail for you to loot upon their death. Yes, these things were weird, and yes, they were ubiquitous in 8-,16-, and even 32-bit games. ...

Halo 3: ODST - multiplayer hands-on (Preview)

Aug 13, 2009

With so much E3 hype surrounding Halo 3: ODST's significant solo campaign, are you worried the Chief-less entry has abandoned its original, buzzed-about multiplayer content? Fear not, frag fans. ODST has enough classic and fresh online content to clutter the cargo hold of a Covenant dropship... and then some. ...

Comic-Con 2009: 5 most important missed stories (Feature)

Jul 27, 2009

For decades, the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) was only known as the best place for avid comic fans (aka virgins) to waste tons of money on more comic books than they needed. But in the last 10 years, other bits of geekery have been seeping in, including anime, Dungeons & Dragons and even videogames. ...

Halo ODST: Hands-on with the new killer co-op mode (Preview)

Jul 24, 2009

Despite what you’re no doubt going to hear over the coming weeks, ODST’s Firefight isn’t just Horde from Gears of War 2 in first person. No, it’s Horde, COD Zombies and Valve’s undead co-op shooter wrapped up in one Shock Trooper-shaped package.

It throws loads of aliena-holes at you Horde-style

Like Marcus Fenix and fellow beefy space chums’ addictive online game, Firefight pits you and three fellow ...

Halo 3: ODST (Preview)

Jul 15, 2009

The Rookie spends the first two minutes of ODST having a nap, 60 seconds dropping to Earth and then the next six hours sleeping off the trip. He’ll spend the next few hours wishing he’d woken up a little faster. Frankly, he had it coming.

ODST begins with a mystery and it’s the first of many. ...

Which console will win Fall 2009? (Feature)

Jun 10, 2009

Last week we weren’t entirely sure what games to expect from the big three console pushers. Oh, we knew a couple of certainties, but overall the slate was wide open, ready to be filled in during their respective press conferences. Today, post-E3, we know exactly what’s in store and what their battle plans are. ...

E3 09: Modern Warfare 2 vs Left 4 Dead 2 vs Halo 3: ODST (Feature)

Jun 9, 2009

E3’s gone dark for another year, and as we bid farewell to the rip-roarin’-est show in years we find ourselves buzzing with anticipation. The FPS field is crowded, as usual, with several massive sequels (and a handful of promising but unproven new titles). Since you need to know which of these are worth your time and money, we’ve selected a few top-shelf shooters for comparison. Let the merciless scrutiny begin! ...

The Top 7... game religions (Feature)

May 11, 2009

Founded by a group of religious cultists who worship an unexploded megaton bomb, who then built their church at the centre of the crater the bomb created. These Children of Atom believe that the atomic masses released by nuclear bombs contain whole universes and are therefore sacred.

How about being constantly surrounded by the most upbeat, glass half full folk any of us are ever likely to meet? Full ...

Video game villains who got away with it (Feature)

May 1, 2009

People like to see good triumph over evil. It's the reason Superman always wins despite getting stabbed in the face with shards of Kryptonite. Why John McClane beats a skyscraper full of heavily-armed terrorists with nothing but a string vest. And why those pesky S.T.A.R.S. agents always get the better of the T-virus. Sometimes, though, there are games brave enough to spit in the face of convention and let their no gooders go ...

Halo 3: ODST (Preview)

Dec 3, 2008

While Master Chief was off dishing out a beating to the Covenant on Delta Halo and High Charity in Halo 2, the Earth took a pounding from the Covenant while they set about digging up a Forerunner artifact buried in the African desert. It’s in the terrestrial side of the gap between Halo 2 and Halo 3 ODST is set, and in this gap the planetside war between UNSC and Covenant forces played out. ...

The 12 most useless game trailers (Feature)

Nov 18, 2008

Game advertising is a wacky business. We can picture tireless, cocaine-fueled pitch meetings where PR people strive to find a way to advertise a particular title. It seems as though every commercial boils down to either: gameplay, pre-rendered footage posing as gameplay, a bat-shit insane live action concept, or a amalgam of all those concepts. ...
